Long vs short procedures - TJC labeling requirement

Regarding labels for medication -
Per TJC, in perioperative and other procedural settings (on and off the sterile field), the date and time are not necessary for short procedures.
How does your hospital define short vs long procedures? I appreciate any feedback or SOP you can share.
